PhotoPost vBGallery v2.5 Released

May 19th, 2009

It has been a long time coming, I know, but it’s finally here.  Our customers have told us that their users are confused about the differences between vBulletin’s built-in profile-isolated albums (displayed on a user’s vBulletin profile page), and the PhotoPost vBGallery photo gallery  (see: Why PhotoPost vBGallery for vBulletin).  ”Where does one stop, and the other start?”, is the question we have heard.  Everyone knows that PhotoPost vBGallery is the only real gallery choice (besides PhotoPost Pro, of course) and can’t be compared to vBulletin’s profile albums, since PhotoPost vBGallery is a full featured gallery, with browseable and searchable centralized category-based albums as well as dozens of other major features.

So, we needed to find a way to bridge the usability gap to offer your users the ease of use of the vBulletin albums profile page integration and the best of PhotoPost vBGallery’s full featured photo gallery. To solve this, PhotoPost vBGallery v2.5 for vBulletin 3.7 or 3.8 now includes the featureset from vBulletin’s profile albums.  If you have been using vBulletin’s profile-isolated albums, you can now easily import your users’ albums and photos into your PhotoPost vBGallery photo gallery, turn off vBulletin’s album feature (uncheck “Albums” in the “User Profile Options” setting group), and not miss a thing while enjoying all of PhotoPost vBGallery’s rich features.  PhotoPost vBGallery now displays a user’s photos in the sidebar of the vBulletin profile page along with a new profile page “Gallery” stats tab, adds a link to the user’s albums from the profile sidebar, adds a link to the user’s albums from the User CP, and adds bold “Upload File” links to various pages to make it easier for new users to upload photos. This effectively ends any confusion between the two products and lets you use the much more robust PhotoPost vBGallery.Check out our new PhotoPost page for vBulletin powered sites for a thorough overview, “Why PhotoPost vBGallery for vBulletin“.
